Ok,so I came across something back around Christmas time where you could send a Christmas card to the troops that are overseas and couldnt make it home for the holidays. Well b/c of terrorists attacks/threats,the cards all had to be returned and none of the soldiers got them. I have family overseas that are in the military that I can sometimes talk to during "free" time, and they have told me that there are some of our soldiers who dont have many ppl that they can get online with. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a chat room or something like that so I can try to join and speak w/the troops. If anyone knows of any please let me know.
SERIOUS RESPONSES ONLY PLEASE!!

A lot of the so-called "military chat sites" are nothing more than dating sites. If you're actually looking to talk with or send letters to someone who doesn't get much mail, why don't you ask one of your family members if they will introduce you?
It wouldn't have to be anything big, just an email address swap or something like that.
You also might want to remember that the guys (and ladies!) over there are quite busy, and may not have time to respond to emails as soon as you'd like, or that your personalities might not mesh exactly. Just as you aren't friends with everyone you meet here, you won't necessarily be friends with the soldier you talk to.
I think it's a nice idea that you have though, and I hope you find someone that will really appreciate your good intentions. :)

ive met a ton of soldiers on yahoo chat. they have military rooms there...under government and politics i believe. Or just search yahoo members list. Go to members, then advanced search. Also, myspace is crawling with deployed soldiers. Good luck.
